When the World Wide Web was created, could we ever have imagined our ability to use the internet - or not use it - turning our lives upside down? And that in the wrong hands, this new digital world could give criminals the opportunity to cause havoc at the flick of a switch?
Narrated by award-winning actor Adrian Lester, True Cybercrime Stories recounts what happened on those fateful days when some of the biggest cyber crimes in recent history took companies, governments and public services by surprise. From the NHS to Twitter and Netflix, cyber criminals have rocked organisations large and small. How bad did it nearly get? What lessons were learned? And who is fighting back to thwart attacks in the future?

Episode 2. 280 Characters of Chaos: The Great Twitter Heist
In the digital age voices can echo, resonate, and influence millions in one click. But what happens when some of those trusted voices begin spreading unexpected messages? This episode of True Cybercrime Stories dissects the day when high-profile accounts on ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter) - from Elon Musk to Barack Obama - were hijacked to promote a Bitcoin scam. Adrian Lester delves into this infamous day of international digital deception, pulls back the curtain on the implications of the breach and poses a thought-provoking question: ‘In a world of constant connectivity, just how secure is our online presence?’
